Three-way tie for second place!! Lard 9-14-10

Douglas LeeSep 14, 2010 8:29 AM

Good Morning, Broncos fans! I’m a little tired and my ears are still ringing from seeing Spoon last night, so this may not be one of the more smoothly flowing Lards. Is that yucky imagery? Sorry, haha. I’m going to borrow something from my favorite Mets blog, Amazin’ Avenue over at SBN. As you all know, athletes, coaches and especially announcers, tend to make comments that could be interpreted in a suggestive and hilarious (or gross depending upon your interpretation) manner. At AA they call it the “unintentionally sexual quote of the game,” and at least for now I’ll call it the “Big Fat Innuendo of the Day.” Clearly, this will not be a daily thing, as I don’t plan on searching out these instances. They just tend to um, pop up…

DB - Gabe Hiatt shares a bunch of quotes from the Broncos, including our very first…

Big Fat Innuendo of the Day

“With Tim’s package, if it was something that gave them trouble, we would stay in it maybe a little bit more,” McDaniels said.

DP - LJ examines the biggest gaffes of the game, including having 10 guys on the field for Marcedes Lewis’ catch-and-run TD. Um, whoops. Hmm. I hope Legwold doesn’t come up with his own headlines. I really do. Hoping against hope, in fact…

DP - Thankfully, McD says he won’t be shuttling Kyle Orton on and off the field whenever TT is involved. Legwold takes a closer look at Tebow’s um, package.

DP - DT’s status for Sunday is uncertain, while Ryan Harris will miss another game. UGH.

DP - In case you were wondering, creating turnovers would be a good thing for the defense to do. Plus, the O-Line has to do better. Shocking revelations from the DP!!!! Who knew?!?!

DP - Klis answers questions from a bunch of happy, shiny shiny, happy people (I told you I was tired…).

Enemies

The Chefs took down the Dolts on MNF Part Deux. Well, that’s good. At least we’ve got that going for us…

A fellow Broncos fan named Ian Nicol wrote a football column for the Times the other day, pondering the possible disappearance of “Mean Old Football” after 2010. Plus, he throws in a beautiful YouTube clip for good measure.

CB, I hope you got a chance to see TebowTees.com before it got shut down. There was some really funny stuff there&#8230

It is tiring, that&#8217s for sure. Nothing the Broncos do is right, everything the Chargers and Jets do is fantastic. I just wish we had won on Sunday. The loss just feeds into the MSM meme that we suck.

Very good point Drew.

Yeah&#8230remember&#8230.McD is a cocky young crap WHO is also stupid&#8230..according to the MSM!

I am utterly amazed that Ryan Mathews doesn’t appear to be the Rene Zellweger to the Chargers’ Tom Cruise <img alt="wink" height="19" src="http://www.singernet.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" style="border:0;" width="19">. What doesn’t amaze me is that while Josh McD apparently invested the very destiny of the Denver Broncos in Tim Tebow, not a peep is made of the king’s ransom San Diego paid to land this hardly-a-consensus-first-round RB from a middling conference who lacks even one elite tool. Knowshon Moreno is far better equipped to morph into a paradigm changer than that kid.

Its the shameless duplicity of the MSM that drives me the most crazy&#8230

With all this talk about TT&#8217s package, and how he &#8220thrust himself up the middle&#8221 - oh wow, I just made myself blush on that one!

<ahem>

Umm&#8230 so..yeah. How about that goal-line stand by KC last night? I was so proud. <img alt="grin" height="19" src="http://www.singernet.com/images/smileys/grin.gif" style="border:0;" width="19">

Nice Ted. Glad to see him back!

Good stuff, Doug

Shiny, happy Chargers laughing&#8230.

Shiny, happy Chargers holding hands&#8230.

Ted! Sorry I missed your column this morning. Lard has been updated accordingly. I assume everyone here knows about it, but Ted&#8217s got a great new site you should be following - http://onemanfootball.com/

Great video with Phil Davison there. Stark County is fairly close to Cleveland, and its County seat is Canton. I have a friend at work whose maiden name is Davison, and she&#8217s from Portage County, which borders Stark to the north. I was really afraid that they were related, when I saw the video, but it turns out they aren&#8217t, thankfully.

Lombardi is right about the offensive line. It&#8217s been the problem since Ryan Harris got hurt, and the 2-9 record without him highlights his importance. John Bena said he thought the connection was overstated, but I don&#8217t.

I think that unlike trickle-down economics, which is a complete fallacy, trickle-down injury effects are very real. Harris&#8217s injury has negatively impacted the Broncos&#8217 ability to sustain long, methodical drives, because the running game lost a lot of consistency on its dominant side, and the pass protection suffered badly. That led to the defense being on the field more, and the defensive linemen wearing down as the season went on.

Tsk, tsk. If you don&#8217t lay off the innuendos on Tebow, he&#8217s going to have to spend time praying for you. I want him studying the playbook and doing high-school drills every minute of the day.

How bad does the loss to Jacksonville look now? Damn, I am SICK of this team flushing away wins with stupid mental errors and lame ass mistakes.
